20th CENTURY
Did the Brewed Beard-contest participants miss
the invention of the electric razor within a century in which radio, TV and internet were invented
as well? Shaving became custom with soldiers,
who had to shave daily so their gasmasks could
fit properly.

The use of electronic devices invented in the 20th
Century, has been taken to a much higher level.
Automobiles contain complete warn-the-driversystems and with a single phone you have access to an almost unlimited number of possibilities.
Does anyone have a grandma that has managed to keep up with the inventions of the last
decades?

telegraphing made it possible to send messages by cable. Imagine sending your assignments

deliver it via long distance transmission. No more
pigeon holes!
